    It’s not even a war crime. It’s only a war crime specifically if it’s used where civilians are.

      It’s also a war crime if it’s a weapon inflicting excessively injurious or having indiscriminate effects. Like flamethrowers, landmines and blinding lased weapons.

      All of these weapons are banned under Geneva Convention, and by using them in a war you would be committing a war crime

        Are you being stupid because you’re just that stupid or Russia is paying you to be stupid?, at least the money is a good excuse

          Why are you so pressed? What part of what I said is somehow in support of Russia?

          Do you then not think that U.S. using Agent Orange wouldnt count as a war crime? or any flamethrower use in WW1? or White Phosphorus?

          What would using a banned weapon during war be called if not a war crime?

          Clearly these weapons are banned because they are overly cruel, meaning it gets the job too well done.

          Last time I checked if someone used banned substances that counts as a crime. And if someone were to break the same rules for war, it would qualify as a crime during wartime (war crime for short).

          But no you just think that every hint of criticism against anyone good means that you’re against that fully? Have you heard of the word ‘nuance’ before?
